This Is the Six [Import]

2012 album from the Sheffield-based Metal band. Their songs are sung with an impassioned spirit... that shines through the hardened and gritty aura that is prevalent in the band's sound. Their straightforward approach to Metal is balanced between riffs infused with hook and rhythms backed with groove. The vocal performance is singed with fire and angst making for a more meaningful and impassioned brand of aggressive music. The lyrical content and the fervor by which it is sung stirs up emotions like a musical call to arms. The band's ability to layer and blend these elements with sparse and timely musical interludes makes for whole album that is cohesive and written with purpose. It is a feat rarely achieved compared to today's musical norm of cobbling together a bunch of individual tracks that end up comprising an album.
